Default Monitor upgrade from 17" to 21"-24"

Hello guys, I have an old 1280*1024 17" LCD and was wondering if I upgrade to this:
Sammy 23" 1080p $150
Sceptre 21.5" 1080p - $120

And is the extra 1.5" worth the $30? I am short on cash as Im getting a Home Theater and PS3 this black friday too(I already have a 52" TV, this will be for sig rig)

They're both the same resolution and panel type, so just get the Sceptre and save that money; sounds like you're gonna need it.

Spectre? I've never heard of them, but if you guys say they are good, and the reviews seem to show this as well, but, do you think i will miss the 1.5"?
